Manafort is not a better man. It is likely he indirectly has blood on his hands and has broken multiple laws in multiple countries. Just because he got away with them at the time, does not mean he gets a get out of jail free card now.

Re: Manafort sues Mueller, Justice Department over Russia probe

He should be right, and he might find a judge to rule in his favor, but the work of THE HATCHET MAN (My term for Mueller..which I claim is the real job he was hired to do)) will not be impeded by those lower judges I spect, and I cant imagine SCOTUS getting in his way now that they are primarily a political body rather than a legal body.

This is what's known as a 'publicity stunt'. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

Well, he see this one particularly hot chick and not does she bag he slackjawed, but he lets a "Whoa" slip out

Re: Manafort sues Mueller, Justice Department over Russia probe

ThIs poor attempt to unseat a duly elected president has to stop.
The FBI is already embarrassed enough over the new findings of the clinton emails.
They really should stop while they have some credibility left.

Really? It took ken star 2 1/2 years to find a stain on a blue dress.

Show some patients, my feeling is that the corruption being uncovered runs so deep and wide that there are so many multiple changes it will take years.

Agreed. Add to that:

We cannot forget that Huma Abedin may have committed the same crime as the one Flynn pleaded guilty to — lying to the FBI — yet, somehow, the FBI chose not to prosecute Abedin or perhaps others, like former Clinton adviser and legal counsel Cheryl Mills. So, is justice truly blind and evenhanded in America today?

and

If Flynn spends one day in jail, it will be a miscarriage of justice. We would do well to remember the precedent the Department of Justice set with the case of President Bill Clinton's former national security adviser, Sandy Berger, who stole classified documents from the National Archives, by stuffing them into his clothing and socks, then destroyed them before lying to federal agents about it. For that he got a $50,000 fine and was stripped of his security clearance.

Just when I'm on board with what Mueller and the crew are doing, I read that crap. Hypocrisy pushes me to argue for the unfairly targeted. If you are going to apply the law, you should do so equally, or all it does look like a witch hunt.
